As a Gallup strength coach, I regularly help individuals take their top talents and transform them into powerful strengths. It’s incredible to witness the transformation from self-doubt and uncertainty to empowerment, ownership, and real clarity. These conversations always focus on the individual, and I’ve found deep satisfaction in uncovering how top talents present differently from one person to the next.
My top talent is titled ”maximizer.” Whenever I tell people this, they tend to reply, ”that’s not a word.” According to Gallup, however, ”People exceptionally talented in the Maximizer theme focus on strengths as a way to stimulate personal and group excellence. They seek to transform something strong into something superb.”
I’ve learned how to harness the power of the maximizer theme to help individuals understand how their talents can help them achieve their professional and personal goals.
My mission is to add value to organizations and people by acknowledging untapped organizational and human potential that can increase value at all levels.
That is what I call the power of the maximizer!
As a maximizer, I will continue to make count today.
